Roger Williams Family History
​
Family History comes alive when you are able to get beyond tracing births, marriages and deaths to finding out the stories of your ancestors lives - and even better link their life stories into the history and geography you know.
Here are some of the stories from Roger Williams' Family History:
​​
​​
Huguenot Ancestors: a story of oppression, emigration from France, and generations of East London silk weavers
Williams Family: the origins of this Williams family farming and fishing for generations on the Isle of Wight
​
W H Williams: a record of imperial service in the Rifle Brigade and later as a Queen's Messenger
​
Brann Family: the story of the family's long connection with Wittersham and the Isle of Oxney in Kent
​
Ada Lee's Diary: a historical snapshot of a middle-class holiday in London in the 1890s, as recorded at the time
​
William Lee: the work of a pioneering civil engineer in England's public health and biographer of Daniel Defoe
